The rivalry between the ‘Rated- R Superstar’, Edge and ‘The Visionary of Drip’, Seth Rollins is not a rivalry that started just a few months ago. The bad blood between the two former champions started back in 2014 when Seth Rollins used Edge’s neck injury as a stepping stone to get on John Cena’s nerves.
The two athletes faced each other at the WWE Crown Jewel PPV in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to put an end to this long rivalry. However, emotions are not the only thing that drives the two; during the match, Rollins performed the finisher of Edge’s best friend and current AEW superstar, Christian Cage.

However, during the match, ‘The Visionary of Drip’ Seth Rollins decided he had to go out of his way to get the better of the former WWE Champion.
Halfway through the match, Rollins grabbed ‘The Rated-R Superstar’ and delivered ‘Killswitch’, a finishing move which is used by the former World Heavyweight Champion and current AEW superstar Christian Cage.

This is not just a normal dig from WWE to an AEW superstar, this moves represented a psychological hit on Edge as Edge and Christian are friends long before they knew they want to wrestle.
Some AEW fans online also took a dig where they sarcastically wrote that is this WWE or AEW Dynamite?
Ok, so first there was a "yes chant" and then Rollins does a Killswitch.
We sure this isn't Dynamite? 😂#WWECrownJewel
